How Awesome is God?!

God is absolutely amazing! Let me tell you just one reason why...Meg! For those of you who followed our trip to Danielle in Nov. 07, you may recall what a God-send Meg was. Meg is Steve's step-sister (really, she is our true sister by heart) who has lived and studied in China...and is perfectly fluent in Mandarin. When we went to adopt Danielle, Meg (by the grace of God) was already in China and was able to be with us for half of our trip. Because she was able to come with us, we were able visit Danielle's hometown and experience "real" China. It was amazing! Well, when we started the process to adopt Michael, Steve had said that we need/want Meg to go with us again. We had no idea if that would work out or not, but it has been our secret prayer for months. Last night we found out that God has answered our prayers! Meg is going to be in China from June through Dec of this year. Not only will she be in China, but this time she will be living in Beijing!!!! Let's just say, that will work out perfectly for us! We are hoping to go to get our son some time this June or July...and Meg will be available! She offered to let us stay in her apartment, while that would save us money, it might scare her away! So we will probably stay somewhere else and hang with Meg during the day. Hey, we may save money anyway - we may not need a guide as often! I would much rather see Beijing with Meg - she translates for us exactly, not what people may want us to know! Plus, she is a ton of fun! Meg knows the city of Beijing well, so we would be in great hands! Steve and I got off the phone last night and thanked God for this answered prayer! Everything seems to be falling into place so well. Another thing that we discussed was possibly taking a side-trip to Danielle's hometown. With Meg, we would be able to do this. In order to go to Laibin, we really would need a guide 24/7, and Meg is more than willing to do this. Now we just need to see if we would be able to meet Danielle's foster mother - wouldn't that be cool? God is good! Now just to get our LOA and TA....come on, let's go get our son!!!!!
